Training anyone??

[640MD 3,429]

I know there was training today, channel 2 news showed some . In particular. Tracca limping. Leg strapped ,  and frittata and Spargo walking laps.    Not much else 

but there are 14 photos on the Melb website. 
and one shows Dunstan,?

I went by at 9.30 am, no one there.

Good chance they had a run at 11.30.(Monday) on Gosch's, which I couldn't make.

If we win Friday, I'll give it another go and try and catch them with a report next week.

They will probably have their main session down at Casey on Wednesday morning. 

They have an open training Thursday on Gosch's, the same as last week with all the activities. (More info on the MFC website, in the "finals hub" section)

Saw some footage of training on the nightly news. I think it was on Nine. Amusingly, the reporter breathlessly told us that Spargo was still unable to talk due to his larynx injury...while the footage showed him walking laps with Fritsch AND TALKING.

Charlie's known around the club these days as The Hoarse Whisperer.

Kev, any chance you could drive a few tractors onto the Casey oval and prevent any sort of serious match simulation hit out tomorrow!?

Thanks in anticipation

Yes same as last week from 9 to 11.

Wouldnt call it training though.  Its more for the fans and the boys to fine tune a bit i guess.  They do a little dozy doeing at goal, handball drills etc.

Nonetheless its a fun morning if Melb puts on a decent day weather wise.  Highly recommended

Would like to see them take it on up the middle effectively. They need the practice. 

Maybe just dig around the boundaries and in particular the forward pockets.

Yes to up the middle if the opportunity arises Kev but depends on who's doing the passing.

I don't think Max should be attempting those too often, especially around HB.  Inside 50 maybe a diff matter.

We need to practice taking it on, including Max.

Drag the oppo to the boundary and leave some of us by themselves in the corridors. 

Get them before they transition to the defensive structure. 

Have or create corridors, when we cause turnovers. 

Kick to leads and not regularly to the contested boundary side pack.

I'm sure they do that stuff, but recently we have not been executing it well and our main playing style has been about safety. 

We need practice and continual repetition till we get the timing and positions right, as well as seeing and assessing the risks correctly.

C’mon over to Gosch’s this morning y’all!

We’re firing up the barbie. Snag in bread only sets you back $2.50. And $4 for a snag in bread and a soft drink. Prehistoric prices!

Don’t make me take 72 sausages home to my son again. He’s still not talking to me from last week’s haul. 
Hashtag Sausages every night = Nope

It's pissing down rain at The Manor WCW. What's it like at Gosch's?

Just starting to spit a little now. But it doesn’t look as though it’ll persist. Not windy, which is good. 
Since I’m not Jane Bunn that’ll have to do.

Free or not he whinges about having sausages for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a month. Ungrateful little sh*it.

The miracle goal kick I want to see is the one that goes straight.
